Do you think 190 lbs/adult is conservative with 10% of the population

Do you think that that 10% and 30% applies evenly though out the
population? I'd bet the higher socio-economic levels of the population,
which also just happen to be the people most likely to be flying have a
lower obesity rate.


Not to mention that many women can be 50+ pounds under the average and
still be overweight.
